The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) has issued a public advisory regarding gatherings and protests in the vicinity of police stations. The release, dated 25 March 2026, emphasises that all public assemblies must comply with the law, remain peaceful, and avoid obstructing police operations or threatening public safety.
The TTPS did not identify any specific individuals or groups involved in recent gatherings. However, in recent weeks, there have been several protests following the fatal police shooting of Joshua Samaroo of St Augustine and the wounding of his wife, Kaia Sealy, on 1 February.
Notably, protesters gathered outside the office of Commissioner of Police Allister Guevarro on 5 February, calling on him to resign or face their increasing wrath over the Samaroo shooting. Organisers Alyssa Philip and Mariah Walcott said they would continue pressing for accountability.
